While some parts of the world have started to open up to concerts, exhibitions, and all the in-person live events we’ve missed over the course of this pandemic - analysts say Virtual Events are set to grow bigger and badder over the next decade. Veemal Gungadin, CEO of event tech provider Global SignIn and virtual events platform Gevme talks to us about the opportunities in the global Virtual Events industry, how to build a community of virtual event creators, experts and learners, as well as how event organisers can maximise value from these virtual events.
